Dr Philippa Gregory - The Challenges Women Face in their Lives and Careers

Our third annual International Women's Day lecture is by bestselling novelist and University of Edinburgh alumnus Dr Philippa Gregory.
Dr Gregory takes an amusing look at how hard it is for a woman to be famous, get paid, or run the world.
The lecture was chaired by theatre critic of The Scotsman, Joyce McMillan.
Recorded on Thursday 8 March 2012 at the University of Edinburgh's McEwan Hall.

A woman gives a lecture on the gross discrimination of women through history in art and science, first question asked (by one of the only males in the audience:) "Are you a man hater"? Classic. Because somehow talking of the oppression of women implies this, and the person speaking needs to clarify that she isn't? Well done making it about your own bizarre associations vs. the actual topic of the lecture there, guys.
